The Market Not Satisfactory Either TO
the Bulls or Bears.

NEW YORK, Apr. 14.-The foreign inter
ests again turned up as buyers this morning,
the reduction In the Bank OF England rate
being one OF the prime causes OF the move
ment. The new buying, however, was met
by free offerings Of long stock and re-
newal OF the hammoring process, in which
the bear party, most OF the room traders
who have lately gone short OF consider
able line OF stocks, and some OF the old
bull party who ore now looking for con.
cesslon In values were prominent. The
market was again somew D at feverlsh and
unsettled, and tho results Of the days trad
Ing are unsatisfactory alike to both sides OF
the account,
The opening was firm TO strong this
morning, first prices showing advances over
last evenings final figures OF from l to !
per cent. Notwithstanding the heavy pur-
chases, the pressure OF stocks for sale forced
the list down in tho early dealings, the
market being feverlsh aud irregular. This
was succeeded by period OF comparative
dullness, when, under the influence Of
Louisville and NaAhville and the specialties
| a better tone was impaired TO the dealings
and noon prices. A slight rally occurred
In the last hour, and the close was moder.
ately active and firm close TO opening
figures.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from TO q, last loan at 4, and closing of
